By and large my relations with the US were good.

What surprises me, what amazes me, is that it seems the military people were expecting to stumble on large quantities of gas, chemical weapons and biological weapons.

If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror.

But I would say if the Security Council is only relevant if it agrees with the United States, then we have come a long way in a direction that I do not like very much.

The smile upon my lips,

My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.

Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar.

There are people in the world who have the power to change our values.

I envy drummers. It must be the ultimate to sing and play drums at the same time. Phil Collins, no wonder he's so f... happy.

What we need is an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and entrepreneurship are normal, steady and continuous.

A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
